06.30am wake & chatter in crib
07.00am mummy hauls herself out of bed and b/f
08.00am breakfast

11.30am lunch

05.15pm dinner
06.00pm bath, b/f, & stories with daddy

sometimes we have slightly earlier wake-ups, in which case we bring the nap forward a little.

7.00 - 8oz bottle and toast
7.30 bed

That's pretty much how it has been for the last month. 

[becky1969]

Now that we're consistently on one nap, thought I'd post our routine (thank goodness it's more predictable now!). LO is 16 months, and this has been our routine for 3-4 weeks now.

7:30/8: wake up
8:30 mommy gets Owen from crib
9:00 breakfast of waffles & cream cheese, fruit (he won't eat until he's been up a good hour)
9-11 play group, go to park, or other activities typically outside now that it's nice!
11:30 lunch (sandwich, fruit, crackers & cheese)
12:00/1:00 nap (depends on when woke up, how tired, etc.) Typically 2-2.5 hours.

2:30/3:30 up from nap play with babysitter
4:00 snack - (raisins, fruit&cereal bar, or crackers)
5:00 help mama make dinner, play by himself
6:00 dinner with family (protein, fruit, try to get him to eat a veg - usually refuses, more cheese & crackers to supplement)
6:30 bath, stories, bottle
7:30 lights out and night night!

NO MORE NIGHT WAKINGS!!!!!! This is a huge improvement for us! Yay for one nap territory!

[BabyBsMommy]

At 16 months, Ds's routine isn't too different from at 14 months...

wakes up anywhere between 7-7:45am (weird) but we leave him there to play until 7:45.
7:45 - 6oz milk
8:30 breakfast - usually one of toast/waffle/cereal, 1/2 yogurt, fruit, water
10:15 - small snack (cheerios, a bit of fruit, etc), get dressed
11:30 lunch - dinner leftovers, sandwich, veggies, etc. fruit, water
12:45 6oz bottle and nap, usually 2 hours minimum
3:30 small snack (a ww cracker and cheese or fruit)
5:30 dinner - whatever we're having unless it's not appropriate, then a keep a few things frozen in the freezer for him leftover from past dinners
7:15 bath
7:45 bed
He needs about 13-13.5 hours of sleep daily which is why I think his wake up time fluctuates a bit - if he had a shorter PM nap the day before, he sleeps in later and if he had an extra long nap the day before, he wakes up earlier.

It's too hot right now to go outside and play (we live in South Florida) and there are tons of mosquito's in our yard so we are stuck indoors more now.  We use to go outside and play once a day and can't wait to do so again.
